from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. An endospore is a dormant, tough, non-reproductive structure produced by a small number of bacteria from the Firmicute family. The primary function of most endospores is to ensure the survival of a bacterium through periods of environmental stress. They are therefore resistant to ultraviolet and gamma radiation, desiccation, lysozyme, temperature, starvation, and chemical disinfectants.
Endospores are formed priarily by gram + rods in response to harsh environmental conditions. They allow long-term survival of the bacterium.In addition to protection from heat and chemicals, endospores prevent dessication of the cell and are able to survive harsh conditions for weeks, months or even years. This allows survival of the bacteria in conditions such as dry soil.
